How easy is it to blend hot and cold water? I need to replace a nearly new faucet that has almost no blending zone.

Very easy. I love this faucet and I think you will too. You go to the left for cold and the right for hot and you lift the handle straight up for the blend.

Not sure I understand the question. Are you talking about in the installation? If so I am not sure a plumber installed for me.

We have been using our Kraus faucet for nearly 2 months and have no problem controlling the water temperature for washing and rinsing dishes and glass wear. It is much better than the Delta faucet we replaced.

I've found it pretty easy. It takes a little getting used to, and the adjustments from cold to lukewarm to warm to hot are not very big. I've been happy with the faucet.

I'm not a plumber.. but If your valve is indeed messed up then it certainly will help the mixture. If your water pressure is really off on the cold, you could close the valve to your cold water slightly, but your overall water pressure will be down. I haven't taken this module apart, but if the springs/valves are all gummed up, then it certainly won't mix right, and of course it will drip water which was my problem.

Better to use warm water as suggested . I fill a Mason Quart jar about 1/2 full of water add the powder then use a hand held blender (one with small propeller type blade) to mix . Does great, then add the rest of the water for the Quart, that can then be cold water . I also drink Redmond clay and it is tough to get dissolved in water, but use the same method to mix it, too (except cold water) . Just though I'd share that second part . Haaaaa

Why do you need a mixing valve when you have cold and hot handles? I turn the hot water on and let it run for a minute until hot then adjust the cold until the water is comfortable. I have had mine for quite a while and it works fine.

I had my plumber install it, took him 20-25 minutes tops hot water works Great. I do recommend a base that's sold seperatly it keep faucet in place cause I have an Old sink that wasn't flat enough. I LOVE my faucet! Good luck

Unlikely. The water is split after the filter and goes to the hot tank and staight to the cold-tap. But the hot/cold tap, filter, and water lines can get naturally warm from heat let off from the unit and of course right after you dispense hot water. Check under your sink and it will be a few degrees warmer due to the heat from the tank. For cold you need to let it run a few seconds (5 or so) to cool it down but even then it may take a lot longer to get as cold as the regular faucet.

The Faucet can be used for Hot OR Cold water , but you have to pick one or the other. (hope this helps ,as I know it has been in my mail box for a while. I'm not the kind of person that keeps up with E-Mail )

I bought the premier 120334L Essen lead free single handle commercial faucet. Make sure you center it on the division between the two sinks. Not in the center of them together. Love my faucet but now wish I wouldn't have bought the divided sink. If done again I would buy the same sink but a single big bowl.

The faucet comes with it's own union, it's hiding in the tub fill. You can either use copper or steel pipe with NPT. depending on your current type of faucet it could either go right together or you might have to sweat some pipe. Or maybe use some PEX fittings and hose to connect to your current piping. I hope this helps.

As long as I leave my faucet dripping, I've never disconnected mine. But I'm talking the occasional freeze. If you are experiencing them frequently I think the shorter life span wouldn't be worth it.

Included is a mix valve. You can adjust hot/cold, but I haven't really tested how well it works.I do recommend the faucet though. Installation could be tough if you have granite counter tops. Ideally should be 1.5" longer.

This is not a genuine Moen cartridge. Looks similar but did not work for me. The hot water leaked through to the cold side when I tried to run cold water. This caused the cold water to be warm, not cold. Get a genuine Moen cartridge. It's worth a little extra money. Or call Moen... Lifetime warranty... they will often send you an replacement cartridge for free. ;-)

Yes, the faucet is for both hot and cold water. If you have hard water like I do I would advise to remove the screen where the water is dispersed from. It clogs very easily because it is so fine that when it starts to clog, the water has a tendency to spray everywhere

I have used both hot and cold water. It doesn't really make much difference. Hence, I go with the easiest thing -- just plain ol' tap water, cold or room temperature.

Once you screw the top on you drop it into the base unit only where the little (cut out) divets are so it sets in the unit completely. Then you turn the cup counter-clockwise, you will hear a click and press the button on the front. It won't start blending until you hear the click. Then turn the cup clockwise to the open divets and remove the cup. Unscrew the black top and you have your goodies all blended! It's fast and pretty easy.

You mean a drinking water dispenser...??? This faucet does hot and cold water already...

Yes with no problem as long as the water in the pipes are not frozen. The only issue. With most all tankless heaters is that will only blend watering you have two control vales as in one foe cold and one for hot. They will network on a single control bled faucet.
